On This Day
Villa lose concussion victim Pat McMahon after 35 minutes before losing Bruce Rioch to injury on the stroke of time to leave Villa to play the second half with ten men. Villa lose for the first time in the third tier.
Villa face Mansfield Town for the first time in competitive football, Mansfield become the 98th team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football.
Vic Crowe's Villa lose for the first time this season to make it two wins, a draw and a defeat in four division three games so far this season. Villa's unbeaten run ended as they were forced to play with ten men for more than half the game as concussed midfielder Pat McMahon left the field on 33 minutes followed by fellow midfielder Bruce Rioch soon after.
What they Said
โIt [Bruce Riochโs knee] appears to be locked at present.
โIโm hoping there is no damage to the cartilage.
โNaturally I am disappointed with our performance.
โWe outplayed them in the first 15 minutes, but from there on we struggled and the goals would just not come.โ
Vic Crowe.
